Police say the killer confronted Leona Faye Swafford, 83, about 8:30 a.m. in her driveway on Sussex Drive, forced her into her Lincoln and then dumped her body in a nearby shopping center. The car was recovered in a nearby apartment complex.

At a press conference this afternoon with Arlington police, Swafford’s grandson, Ben Harben described his grandmother as the “guiding light” of the family. Another grandson, Steven Harben said the woman was a fixture in the community.

“The people in this community are a part of our family too,” he said. “She was like a second mom to us.”

Police released a composite sketch of the man who kidnapped and killed Leona Swafford.

Police said they have handed out fliers with the composite sketch of the suspect to area neighborhoods. But the department reminded the public today that the sketch is only a tool and not to use it as the only means of identifying the suspect.

Investigators believe the unidentified suspect may be hiding or lying low, so the public should be on the lookout for anyone refusing to come outside or behaving strangely or nervously.

“This was a grandmother, a mother, a defenseless woman. There was no reason to kill her,” said Sgt. Christopher Cook in an email. “Such a senseless act of violence against her and against our community. Somebody knows something. They need to come forward and give this suspect up.”

Anyone with information can call the police tip line at 817-575-8529 or Tarrant County Crime Stoppers at 817-469-TIPS. Oak Farms Dairy, a continued community sponsor, is offering a $10,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest and grand jury indictment of the person responsible.
